I love this time of year . It is so beautiful and the weather is perfect.
I have been busy finishing a couple new Cuff Bracelets . These are addicting . I really enjoy making them and I'm happy to be able to use up my odds and ends from previous projects.
I just finished an article for the upcoming June issue Quiltposium magazine. These bracelets will be featured.
This first bracelet was done in an analogous color scheme. I choose blues,purples and greens.
I had a small scarab which I had made from simulated Lapis Lazuli and I had a small goddess face I made from simulated jade. The leaves were made from navy blue,white ,pearl and transparent polymer clay.
You can find wonderful clear instructions at Polymerclay Central.com to make the leaves .
I want to make different colors of leaves for each bracelet I make. I like the way they look when attached to the bracelets. I had some beautiful glass beads that were the perfect color . I used a navy blue polymer clay and I glass bead to make the button for this bracelet. I added a dragonfly and ankh charm
and some metal beads. The fabric I used for the bracelet is cotton and I used metallic threads for the surface stitching.
